SCHEDULE 13D/A

Page 4 of 6 Pages

Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on 11/14/23, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed 1/23/24; with respect to the common shares of NEW AMERICA HIGH INCOME FUND INC. This Amendment No. 2 amends Items 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 below.

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Funds for the purchase of the Common Shares were derived from the subscription proceeds from investors and the capital appreciation thereon and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Shares reported herein. A total of approximately $12,395,496 was paid to acquire the Common Shares reported herein.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On August 8, 2024, Saba Capital Management, L.P. entered into a standstill agreement (the "Agreement") with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") agreed to use reasonable efforts to cause stockholders of the Issuer to approve the reorganization of the Issuer (the "Reorganization") with and into the T. Rowe Price High Yield Fund, Inc., an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act, and an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") relating to the Reorganization and consummate the Reorganization.

The Agreement also provides for customary standstill provisions during the period from the date of the Agreement through the date that is the earlier of (a) the day following the date on which (i) the Board terminates the Plan and publicly determines not to pursue the Reorganization or (ii) stockholders of the Issuer do not approve the Plan; (b) the day that is 30 days prior to the last date that a stockholder may give timely notice of director nominations to the Issuer in accordance with the Issuer's by-laws for the Issuer's 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; or (c) 120 days following the date hereof if the Reorganization has not been consummated on such date. Under the Agreement, Saba Capital Management, L.P. and certain of its affiliates agreed to withdraw the director nominations it previously submitted to the Issuer in connection with the Annual Meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement shall not be deemed complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D/A and incorporated by reference herein.
